Jade Figure

There's something there.

Chu Tianshu's gaze suddenly drifted towards the water.

At that moment, Tang Nu was closest to the water, and upon hearing the warning, he himself felt a sense of alarm.

Chu Tianshu clearly saw that Tang Nu shrugged his shoulders, and his facial skin seemed to sprout many tiny feathers in an instant, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a hawk's.

Phew!!

His figure seemed to be lifted more than ten meters into the air by the movement of his shoulders shrugging, and his arms spread out in the process.

The fingers tore through the air, producing a shrill sound.

The subtle effect of airflow buoyancy caused his body to spin rapidly in mid-air, looking down.

Humans are creatures that can neither fly nor dive; they are most agile on land.

However, for Tang Nu, it seems that he is at his most agile, fiercest, and most powerful when he is flying in the air.

The figure that had almost attacked him from behind then emerged from the water.

Every move of the emerald image was reflected in Tang Nu's eyes.

The strange man who suddenly appeared looked like a jade statue.

The body, carved from pale blue jade, has complete eyebrows and hair, and facial features that resemble a woman's, possessing a wild beauty.

On her forehead hung a string of animal teeth ornaments. Her waist, back, and limbs were strong and powerful. Her upper body was covered only by two round armor plates on her chest, and she wore a green battle skirt made of jade plates.

In his jade-like right hand, he also held a broad-bladed iron sword more than two feet long.

At its widest point, the blade is as wide as an adult's palm, narrowing towards the front.

When this person broke through the water, a white column of water erupted two or three meters behind him on the surface of the water.

She must have been underwater, using extremely heavy and fast force to trample the rocks on the lakebed.

With a single step, her body tilted forward and shot out, shattering rocks and surging water, which shot straight up to the surface.

This created a spectacular sight, with a person in front and a water column behind, appearing to emerge simultaneously.

BOOM!!

The sound of the water bursting apart amplified the power of the sword strike.

The emerald green shadow rushed towards Lin Chucheng with unstoppable force.

Chu Tianshu flicked Lin Chucheng backward with his right hand and pressed down with his left.

A palm-sized, blue Four-Leaf Seal appeared out of thin air, blocking the iron sword.

The sword tip pierced through the mark, emitting a loud buzzing sound, and slowly pierced the mark, heading towards Chu Tianshu's palm.

Chu Tianshu slightly tilted his hand, reaching down from below with his palm facing upwards to grab the strange man's wrist.

Clang!!

Chu Tianshu's fingers gripped the strange man's wrist, causing a shower of sparks to fly.

His fingernails were already so hard they were unnatural, and the skin on the strange man's wrist was also ridiculously hard.

Even with Chu Tianshu's fingertips, he couldn't pry into the skin, but his strength was too great, and with this pull, the strange man's wrist was also locked.

The immense force transmitted through the vibrations caused numerous tiny cracks to appear on the strange man's sword-wielding hand.

All the cracks on my wrists and knuckles are located at these joints, and their shapes are very regular, all resembling crescent moons.

Judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to have been damaged by Chu Tianshu's force; these are the marks that appeared.

Rather, this hand was meant to have these gaps; it's just that the materials are so good and the craftsmanship so advanced that, under normal circumstances, it would be seamless and undetectable to outsiders.

Only after being jolted by this immense force and the gap widened slightly could it be seen.

"It's not human, and it's not even Evil Spirit."

Chu Tianshu exclaimed in surprise, "A mechanical puppet?!"

Two points of green light appeared in the doll's eyes, and the iron sword suddenly flipped and was gripped in reverse, the blade slicing horizontally towards Chu Tianshu's wrist.

Chu Tianshu instantly released his grip, his figure flashed, and he retreated ten meters away, looking at the jade doll with surprise.

The puppet, expressionless, gripped its sword with both hands and charged forward once more.

Laugh!!

A red flame, trailing black smoke, shot through the air and struck the doll's side.

The puppet twisted its body, swung its sword, and shattered the flames.

Unexpectedly, the shattered flames, like fine downy feathers, flew up and immediately enveloped the doll.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Those red velvet threads emitted a continuous stream of tiny explosions.

The explosion wasn't large in scale, but it had strong penetrating power.

All of these blasting locations correspond to acupoints on the human body.

If the person opposite were a human, this anger would have already penetrated through the acupoints, severed the meridians, and damaged all the internal organs.

"Just because you're not human, you dare to withstand my sword energy?"

Mo Xiaoyu raised her right hand in front of her, the shadow of her palm perfectly obscuring half of her face.

His gentle and serene expression, under this strange light and shadow, revealed a hidden madness.

A beam of red energy rose from her sleeve, illuminating five or six acupoints on the back of her hand in turn.

The red light branched off and eventually traveled to the tips of the middle, ring, and little fingers.

With her thumb and forefinger interlocked, Mo Xiaoyu swung her hand and slashed.

Boom!!!

Three blades of energy erupted simultaneously, multiplying into nine in mid-air, and then into twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven sword energies, like blood-red lightning serpents, swirled wildly through the air, striking the puppet's body.

In the Northwest Region, it is second only to the Taboo cultivation method practiced by the Minister.

The Mysterious Pass Li Fire Acupoint-Resonating Great Art "!

The self-sealing of the entrance gate, the qi rushing to the vital points, and the bursting Li Fire Blade Qi.

His madness was tempered with meticulousness, and his meticulousness with strength. He anticipated the direction of his blade's energy, tracked it through numerous twists and turns, and even used ruthless fire and poison.

Although this skill is not a complete Taboo inheritance, only two types of people can practice it.

One type is people who are born with madness and whose eight meridians are open; after practicing, they naturally become even madder.

Another type is the calm and collected person who uses stillness to control madness; the fiery poison they cultivate is more subtle and difficult to deal with.

The jade puppet swung its sword wildly, the afterimages of the iron sword Zongheng and forming an impenetrable barrier, blocking all the fiery snake-like blade energy.

But after the series of explosions, the jade doll suddenly froze.

The neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists—all the well-hidden joint gaps on the doll's body are exposed.

Within the black crevices, clusters of transparent, reddish flames burned.

It was this fiery toxicity that widened the gap.

Tang Nu had been circling in the air for several seconds when it suddenly swooped down.

Two hard, claw-like hands struck the doll's head repeatedly.

With two loud bangs, the lower half of the doll sank completely into the ground.

The gaps in the upper body of the doll were all closed up by the pressure transmitted through the claws.

However, this closure is not a restoration, but rather carries a subtle sense of dislocation.

This makes the fiery toxins appear even thicker and tighter, sealing off the joints.

Tang Nu flipped backwards in mid-air, landing back on the ground. He shook his hand and said, "Hiss, what's this monster made of? It's so hard!"

Chu Tianshu walked over, tapped the doll's head, and listened to the echo to realize that the doll's internal structure hadn't suffered much damage. He couldn't help but praise it.

"You two, that's quite a move."

He had just been thinking about whether this puppet was considered complex or simple according to the Nanhua True Interpretation, and how to subdue it without damaging it too much.

Mo Xiaoyu and Tang Nu did not exchange a single word, yet they had already tacitly completed this coordinated attack.

The experience of these two individuals is indeed extraordinary.

Mo Xiaoyu's skills are also quite good.

"Her sudden, water-piercing strike was easily neutralized by you, and her sword speed actually decreased afterward."

Mo Xiaoyu spoke modestly, using this opportunity to regain her composure and calm her nerves.

"This thing is clearly aimed at Minister Lin. Minister, do you remember him?"

Lin Chucheng walked over and patted his forehead.

Fragmented scenes flashed through his mind.

Ambushed in the mountains, a brief but incredibly fierce battle ensued, and they stumbled into a mountain cave...

"I remember it was like in a palace, and there were so many monsters like that trying to attack me."

The child held his head in his hands, a little annoyed, "It's not strong, but it's so hard, so troublesome, ugh! I can't remember anything else!"

a lot of?

Chu Tianshu looked at the lake, channeling his surging True Qi into his body, which subtly formed an eggshell-shaped protective shield.

"I'll go down and take a look."

He sprang to his feet and plunged into the water, plummeting downwards.

The lake isn't very deep, but it's full of aquatic plants.

Chu Tianshu looked around and found that the aquatic plants had also been damaged. He used his internal energy to drain the water and moved over there.

Many broken and deposited aquatic plants were disturbed by the current and drifted away in all directions.

The bluish-green color that had been buried underwater was now exposed.

There were more than twenty jade figurines that had been broken by immense force and were now submerged at the bottom of the water.

Each puppet has multiple brutal wounds, as if it could still fight even with its head blown off and its torso blasted open.

This forced their opponents to use even greater force, severing their limbs.

The sharp edge of the broken piece still seemed to gleam coldly at the bottom of the lake.
